Default Bean to cup coffee machine

Looking at get one of these machines.

Does anyone have advice as at the moment the Siemens model looks top of the list.

I know they are not cheap circa £500, but are there any places to get a very good deal on them.

Cheers

Nick

Thanks for the link, now I need to find out how it compares with the Siemens machine. Did like the Jura machines but they are megga bucks.

My three colleagues at work swear by the Magimix Robot Cafe. It's about 400 quid in John Lewis but about 330 on the ol' interweb. If/when my next bonus arrives, I might splash out on one. They say that it'll grind and brew quicker than you can boil a kettle

Second vote for the Magimix Robot Cafe, top peice of kit at a reasonable price. We had a Krupps before which wore out after three years, the Magimix is essentially the same machine but has much better UK support. Some of the Juras are also based upon the same chassis but with an altered facia and software programming. Not worth the extra IMO. Selfridges has them all on display if you want a good look.

We had the Krups Orchestro for about 5 years ..used it daily and it never missed a beat ... sadly missed now ( pump seal went and uk repair facilities are cr*p ). Will be replaced with the magimix one likely ....

a friend of mine used to work for a coffee company (can't remember which one) and he left one of their machines "on trial" in our office for about 12 months. we missed it as soon as it went!

he started his own company recently and we've been buying coffee from him for the office (sadly we can't justify having a bean to cup machine though)

could be worth a call to ryan of "koffee" on 07900 920331. i know one of his neighbours on the business estate where he's based sell machines and provide maintenance etc for a number of hotels, coffee shops etc

Right looks like I'm now more confused and may end up buying a Jura machine, albeit somewhat over budget.

Best get it ordered before the wife sees this

Cheers

Thanks for the link to Gocoffee, very impressed with their service and Marc the MD. Have taken delivery of a Jura F50 yesterday which I'd have to say is the muts nuts, certainly worth the £750 price tag, can recommend it 100%.
